Awesome changes and all guys, but is there any chance of including an option in the future allowing one to change font render styles in Windows? OS X gets awesome looking font rendering and Windows doesn't - but Safari has a setting to change to the Mac style font rendering. Any chance we could get the same on Chrome for Windows?

Acid3 fails in the Mac OS X 9.0.597.84 version, almost exactly like it does in this bug report from April. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=41706Except that the "You should not see this at all" text disappears right before the count reaches 100.

Ever since the update I have had Google Chrome crash (just freeze) multiple times in a variety of different usage scenarios. I also appear to have lost my homepage settings and other default security options (I run Chrome on Widnows Vista with all the lastest service pack and security patch updates).
